Description

Entering the cottage from the porch, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides a charming sociable living space for unwinding after a day of adventures. There is a leather sofa and armchair to curl up on in front of the cosy log-burning stove while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or a good book.

The brand new kitchen overlooks the pretty garden and comes fully equipped with fridge, induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. On warmer days why not open up the french doors for an al fresco drink and nibble - or even just a serene moment observing the comings and goings of the resident birds and wildlife. At the back of the garage there is a useful utility space with freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space, and the twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp white bed linen and towels. The bathroom has a mirror with lighting, WC hand wash basin and beautiful bath with shower over, ideal for reinvigorating tired muscles,

There is an electric vehicle charging point next to the private allocated covered car parking space (please note the charging point is shared with Spa Cottage next door)

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi

There is an abundance of choice when it comes to walking routes, or why not bring your bike with you to see even more of this beautiful area with pedal power. There is a lockable shed at the back of the garden for storage.

It would be easy to park up and enjoy a jam-packed car-free holiday. Braithwaite amenities include three lovely pubs serving food and local ales, village shop and a tea room. Theres nearby Whinlatter Forest along with a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities to choose from, a nearby bus stop with routes taking you all over the Lake District, and Keswick town centre only minutes away.

Autumn Break in Braithwaite at Glen Cottage
Just returned from an amazing week at Glen Cottage in Braithwaite, the perfect place to explore the hills around the Newlands Valley, both low and high level walking, with the benefit of 2 pubs in the village to recoup, and some lovely tea rooms too, if you can't be bothered to cook. The Keswick Cottages staff are really helpful too, whenever we need our Lake District boost, we always come to Keswick, and use this service, we've never had a bad experience.

Thank you for the amazing 5* review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay in Glen Cottage, it sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring the area and sampling the lovely local eateries. We're so happy that you continue to return to Keswick, we look forward to hosting you again next time! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

As close to perfect as we can get!
We had a lovely stay at Glen Cottage, 2 adults and our dog. We have been searching for somewhere to stay that ticks all our boxes and this cottage definitely did. Impeccably clean and tidy, lovely garden which is 100% secure (hard to find!) and plenty of space for us. The location was perfect, Braithwaite is a lovely village, plenty of walks without needing the car. Lovely little village shop & tea rooms a stones throw from the front door, 6 minute drive into Keswick, couple of pubs and a designated parking space, what more could you ask for. The main bedroom was perfect for us, I would say that the second bedroom is small without any storage space so it could be a squeeze for 4 adults but the rest of the house and bathroom had plenty of space. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything we needed and the cleaning and tea welcome packs were a lovely surprise. We had a great experience with Keswick Cottages, easy check in and out, communication and the tablet hub was great addition. I would highly recommend Glen Cottage and Keswick Cottages and we will definitely be heading back next year.

What an amazing review, we're so delighted that you enjoyed your stay and have found a holiday cottage that ticks all the boxes. We're glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful garden, hopefully the weather stayed fine for you! It sounds like you really made the most of the amenities on offer in Braithwaite, there are some lovely pubs serving delicious food - just what you need after a day out walking. Thank you so much for your comments regarding the service you have received, we hope to welcome you back for your next Lake District break! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Really enjoyable stay in Glen Cottage
Superb location, lovely well equipped cottage with great walks from the door and the benefit of being able to leave the car in the garage. Excellent café and 3 good pubs within walking distance.

Thank you for your fabulous review! It sounds like you have really made the most of the local area during your stay, a good walk and nice pub meal is such a perfect way to spend a day in the Lakes. We're really glad that you liked Glen Cottage, hopefully you will visit again to tick more walks off the list! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.
